I am a licensed therapist with 27 years of experience, holding professional licenses in Washington, DC, and Virginia. I work with adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and identity development, including LGBTQIA+ concerns. Whether you’re navigating personal struggles, relationship dynamics, or professional challenges, I provide a supportive space to help you build resilience and develop strategies for meaningful change. My approach is person-centered and strengths-focused, integrating evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). I also have experience in professional coaching and specialize in career development, work performance, and work-life balance—whether managing burnout, adjusting to a new role, or seeking greater fulfillment in your professional life. Additionally, I help clients navigate major transitions, including relocation, cultural adjustment, and shifts in identity and purpose. Having worked with people from diverse backgrounds, including those living and working internationally, I understand the complexities of change and adaptation in an increasingly global world. I believe that you are the expert of your own story and that you have many strengths to help you overcome life’s challenges. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.
